How much did you pay to add a bustle?

[LILBOBO1980]

I just bought material for a seamstress to make sleeves for my dress and now I am wondering how much it will be to have a bustle added to my dress. What did you pay?

[LILBOBO1980]

Never mind... I got ahold of my seamstress and she said it would only be 14.95. Woooo HOOoooo

[woohoo2me]

Wow. My bustle cost me $120 and I thought I didn't even have a train.

whats a bustle?? sorry, I'm new...and I'm not really looking at anything extra to my dress..just something plain and simple...so ya, I don't know any of these dress parts ::#:

jeez my bustle is going to be sooooo expensive.. ---- thank god i got a great deal on the dress :(

[LILBOBO1980]

She did mention that it would be more if she had to put the train under my dress.. but I want it on the outside.


**** I know someone asked....A bustle is used to pull up the train... so you would want it during you're reception etc...

Here is how I want mine done...

I took my dress to the seamstress today.. I am having her create sleeves for my dress... I really hope they come out nice... I am very stressed over the sleeves.

thats what kind of bustle i am getting... i thought that was MORE expensive --- if it isnt, thats great news :)

[LILBOBO1980]

Well you ladies are scaring me... lol. I am hoping that the lady I spoke to did not misinform me : (

It is supposed to cost under 100.00 to have sleeves added on... she is custom making them too.

[LILBOBO1980]

I might have to rig something on my dress if it is 100.00 or more : )

[EarlyBird]

What about having someone make you a satin or lace bolero? I'm having someone make me one. Like this:

Around here it's like $20 for the first loop, then $10 for each additional loop. I will need about 3 loops.. and alterations... ugh.

[LILBOBO1980]

I confirmed it with my seamstress again today... It is only 14.95 to have the bustle added on top of the dress!!! WOoo hoooo I was worried :)

I love the bolero but I am not so sure it would look right with my dress plus I don't want to cover up any of the beading...detaill..etc

I feel like I live at the bridal shop... I have been there about 10 times in the past week...lol They know me by name and sight now ... which is good. (I think)

I think I paid around $20 to have it put on the outside. I was going to do inside because I think it looks better that way, but my train has such a nice design on it that I wanted it showing, the seamstress tried but couldnt really come up with a way for it to be under and still have the pattern showing.
